We AlL ArE AcToRs!!
why we are all actors? why people think acting is just on stage? acting is everywhere you apply that every single moment of your life, I'm not saying acting is an easy job but unconsciously people is acting. we are all actors.
Do you remember when you were little and you knew when your mom didn't wanted to buy your favorite chocolate or favorite toy... you cry YOU FAKE and you cry, because you know after crying she is going to get that for you. and as soon as we get older we start doing it more often, at work, with friends, society, family, with yourself including your boyfriend or girlfriend. because there is nothing more funny than, imagine you are talking with your boyfriend and you want to start fighting ..and you do it you act so well that you really looked angry that he believes in you and at the end your acting becomes reality and you began a real fight because you are that good on that. is not that funny?
or your professor at school or director want to talk to you and you need a backup..what you do? you FAKE, you make an story from nowhere and at the end is the perfect story ever..sometimes you can even cry!!..i remember when i was in high school most of my friends used to do that but once they get out of the director office they start laughing because he did believe on what they said!...you see we are all actors is all there!.
Oh! but get into an acting class.. tell me if can do it? hell no! because now you are shy, (people is watching you, you feel awkward, embarrassed and you start shaking all you want to do is sit with everybody else). buy why? you do that all the time and everybody is watching you as well!! everybody wants 100% the attention of people.well once you are on stage you got it so do it..but it is hard.
that's why i think everybody are actors everybody can do anything..but is not the same. that's the hardest part of been an actor..you don't fake anymore..you learned to make the story a reality, a real person, real feelings and most of the physical reactions are real from the inside to the outside..an exposition of you,way way on the ground. is a huge exploration of yourself to get into the point where you find the reasons why the character on the play is feeling that..why is doing that...and that's where all the magic comes out.
is beautiful..is not awkrness is the beauty of stand in front of people that you don't know and cry, or laugh or scream on the top of your lungs..and expos ion of the human being and that's the scariest part for someone who haven't done anything like this...i mean who likes to cry and have a lot of people watching..(no body for sure).or be naked maybe.
but if you think deeply we all do that..how important is to us cry with your best friend..or alone..when you want to scream and you run as fast as you can so nobody can hear, the love feeling.what you do? eat, cry, sing, but you don't express to anybody why. but people is watching; your best friend is watching you crying, when you thought while you were running that nobody saw you..well they did maybe your neighbor, the sky, the mountains or the same sun..we're never alone.
i was reading one article from Steven Fernandez about we all have masks and we hide alot of our identity..I'm agree with him but that's not everybody and like i said before,not everything on acting is fake...most of the best acting performances on drama even on comedy comes from background from the same actors that they feel related from..experiences from their lives that they feel connected with the characters and apply those feelings to it. and not everybody is like that. there are a few who really know who they are and what the feel and what they want. that doesn't mean that theres someone who have never lie before or fake a laugh or smile or a sad face,including crying.
he also talks about we are all actors and we live our on stage and we do..we create our environment, costume, make up objectives on life, decisions, super objectives, props..way of interact with people around you including language, you always think about what you are going to say,and if you wanna say something most of the time you have a reason to say it or if you are not thinking about it you still keep doins something, or an specific action. you decide your own way,either failure or develop the capacity to win and reach your goals until the final scene.
that's how life is, we have all the tools to make it real. to make your goal happened, your enemies your friends your lovers everything you do is because that's the way you wanted to.
we are all actors, either you are truthful with yourself or not. you don't have to be on stage to show that..is all there and you will always have someone there watching.
a lot of people might disagree with me but..that's why theater is for sometimes right? your free to do a lot of things that are impossible or not accepted by society on real life right? i mean imagine you can be whoever you want whenever you want..Doctor, dentist, teacher, athlete, a crazy woman, a ghost, a freaking alien!!!! or an avatar ha! imagine that..is not that awesome?
